Weekly Indie Log #13

Weekly Indie Log #13. Last week was meant to be coding week but I got hit by sickness (fever, cold) early last week. This threw off my coding week as well as broke my gym streak which I had going on for 12 consecutive weeks.

While this was a downer, the goal is always to bounce back stronger. Time-off from the indie world has given me some time to think about the whole marketing/coding week cycle which I embarked on more than a month ago.

While it is a really good idea, it’s slowing me down considerably in terms of shipping velocity and for the roadmap I have planned for both stomod.com and assistflare.com .

Moving to Blended Marketing/Coding Days

The way I work right now is I have a big chunk of 3 to 4 hours early morning where I do deep work and then later in the afternoon after my day job, I do some free hours where I do other operational tasks.

What I am think to move towards is to do the coding part of my indie journey in the early morning hours and switch to marketing mode in the afternoons.

The idea is to ship something every day in the morning and then spend time in the afternoon marketing the products, rinse and repeat daily.

Now even though I was sick, I managed to find some time to ship some thing which were requested previously by customers.

Wrapping Up

Besides the above, I also shipped a truck-load of bug fixes and UI improvements on the blog side and aim to continue improving the blog layouts and provide alternative themes for users in the upcoming few weeks.

For now that’s it, cheers!
